I guess "elections have consequences" is all the justification the democrats will need to increase the size of the supreme court.

Yup.

Conservatives already freaking out over what’s gonna happen once Dems regain control:

I will tell my Democrat rep just to forget the justifying argument in order to not waste time. It is now almost pointless.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

They would not bother to justify it. Last time they tried "the court is overturning what I passed" was what they tried to use.

Democrats hate the rules when they do not benefit Democrats. And their record on how they treat SCOTUS appointees not of their party is nothing short of completely disgusting.
The President is a fink.

Therefore, if 17k deaths is a, "Failure," due to, "Incompetent handling," this is more than 10x a failure.

I think it will certainly surpass quarter of a million, and possibly reach third of a million.

Britain has dropped off by enough since June that they are screaming for travel from the US to reopen or they will lose £11 billion this year, They are afraid 1.27$/£ will collapse.

I definitely recommend you start by winning the election with Biden at the top of the ticket.
I'll wait....

Don’t you live in NY? Not like your vote would have swung the state to Trump.

Oh right, EvenBob predicts Donny will win NY!

Why not in that case vote for someone who isn't Biden and isn't Trump?

Strong third-party showings will help convince people to vote for who they really want to, rather than having to settle for a candidate from one of the two main parties.

Presidents never pick them, their
people do. Presidents have no
idea who's qualified, they rely
on the experts surrounding
them to do the picking.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
